Getting PyPSA benchmark instances

[jajhall]

I've tried following the instructions on

https://github.com/open-energy-transition/solver-benchmark/blob/main/benchmarks/pypsa/README.md

but get the following error

Note that, although I didn't reach the line

docker run -it --entrypoint bash

I'm puzzled as to what <image-hash-from-previous-output> refers.

If relevant, I tried following

https://github.com/open-energy-transition/solver-benchmark/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#initial-setup

but

sudo pip install -r website/requirements.txt

was not possible since I'm on an externally managed desktop

Since I'm not intending to run benchmarks using your "system", or use the website locally, it's probably not worth trying to get ting the above to work for me, but I hope that it's useful feedback from a user

Please make the PyPSA benchmark instances available as a folder of .lp files (as we do here) and/or let me know where I can download them otherwise.

Thanks for trying it out, and for the useful feedback. I'll take a look, I suspect we need to update the patch or the pypsa-eur commit hash.

We are in the process of uploading the generated PyPSA benchmarks to Zenodo (#76 ) but in the meantime you can download the LP files from GCP buckets using the URLs in benchmark_config.yaml. For instance, the one with the suspicious integrality violation was:

solver-benchmark/benchmarks/benchmark_config.yaml

Lines 123 to 126 in 857f954

	- name: pypsa-eur-elec-op-ucconv
	sizes:
	- size: 2-24h
	url: https://storage.googleapis.com/solver-benchmarks/pypsa-eur-elec-op-ucconv-2-24h.lp

(But I think our code computing integrality violation has a bug, we're working on a fix: #44 (comment))
